Go find a hardened IRC that's been in the sun for the last 10 years....Originally Posted by Akzle
To be honest I'm suprised you've gotten the k's you have out of it if you have them on the 750, i Used to go through them in about that on my 87' 250 Ninja. The BT-45's are an awesome tyre on small bikes but are pretty soft and with so much area of tread n the fronts they tend to move around a lot and wear quickly, especially if you trail your brakes constantly into corners...

Pilot Road 2ct in the warmer months of the year or PR3 autumn winter ,
Have your forks moved in the clamps ?

Did you check what sort of bike he was riding? I'm pretty sure that neither of those tyres come in the sizes he needs.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

I actually find those fiendishly difficult to tie.
However I still try.

No one has asked what pressure the tyres are being run at?
6200k's is pretty bloody good in my book.

89 GSX750 ? Michy site says 150/70 for rear and 110/70 for front availiable (if a 70 is ok for a front)

When I had a teapot, the only people selling tyres in NZ for them were Bridgestone and Avon. It might say they're available, but I guess checking with Cycletreads is the best bet. I did put a 110/70 on the Teapot once, and it turned steering into a wrestling match of indeterminate results. There's not much in the way of actual "suspension" on a Teapot so tyres tend to get a hard time.
Looking on Cycletreads shows they don't have a Michelin Radial in a 11/70x17 in stock, so I dunno.
I put Bridgestone BT-003Rs on the RVF and they're brilliant (120/60F, 150/60R) but they were pretty much all that was available at that point in time, so it was luck that saved the day, not planning or desire.

100/90-16 F (H rated)
120/90-18 R (V rated... ^_- )
stock rear is 110, thez smeg all clearance in the swingarm to go wider, 120 provided a better profile when pinched onto teh narrow rim....

Cycletreads website says my options are the BT45 (have) the Bridgey G "exedra"s or some lovely looking kendas.... which only look slightly better than the kendas on my MTB....

Ahh, not a teapot. The olden style 750. So yes, definitely not radials.

boike sssssssssslut
Used the BT45 on a ducati s2 and an fj1200, fairly typical mileage was in the 4000km ( FJ front if rode like a twat) to 5000/6000km on the ducati, very sensitive to pressure.
I ran the fj at 36/42 and the ducati at 34/36 psi

Mismatched tyres, and a wider tyre on the rear. I bet that thing wallows like a whale through the corners compared to the having the correct tyres fitted.
Time to ride

Mismatched tyres are absolutely fine ya squid!
The wider tyre on the rear might be fine too, since it's built 30 years after the bike and probably quite a lot better than the factory hoops. Pretty sure I ran 120/80 on "Bobby Sue", my old GSX750ES

120/80 would go rounder than 120/90, assuming rim width is same. -_^
there innt no wallowing that i've noticed.... and since it are der rear tyre that has an extra 10mm... well it innt fuckall really, is it. i didn't want a flat (shape) tyre on the back...
thenn, i never ridden it with a 110 on the back so i can't compare it to stock...
i think it had a (fucked) sport demon on teh front when i got it... so they must come in size... and i think the 2cts did aswell, but the internet is not being helful.

If you're talking about the Michelin 2CTs, you're imagining things.
